Road Rides normally leave the Shop at 9am on a Sunday Morning with between two and three groups heading out (beginners, Intermediate, Fast Group) Please arrive with nuitrition, water Helmet and a road bike in good condition. We also recommend a pump, Spare innertube and a basic tool kit. Allso bring a few quid just in case there is a cofffee stop planned.

Once you have attended a ride you are welcome to Join. Please visit the Shop or attend our monthly Meeting at the Colliers Arms (porth) held the first monday of every month to pick up a form.

4. Sign your life away...

Before you can make a payment and finalize your application you must agree to ride according to the BIKE DOCTOR code of conduct. It's nothing too scary but we're a big club. We are very conspicuous so when riding with the club or riding or racing in club kit we have to take extra care to make sure we are riding safely and respectfully of all other road users.
